Mischievous Niffler There was nothing about the school that evening to suggest to Kitty that there was anything odd or peculiar going on. The castle was mostly peaceful and everyone was either studying or, reading, or playing games in the common rooms. She was on her last prefect patrol of the day. After this she was going to hang out at the library and maybe give some Muggle rights pins to students she met down there.
But just as she was about to head back, she heard a girl shout "YO GryffinDAA" from up ahead. What was that about? Out of sheer curiosity, she headed in that direction and rounded the corner. "What the -?" she began, staring wide eyed in awe at the hole in the wall. There was an eerie glow and tendrils were coming out of it.
Now Kitty was naturally a curious person. Sometimes people made jokes to her that curiosity killed the cat, (which she never found funny) and it was true that her curiosity had gotten her in trouble before. But this was the hallway she had heard a girl shout out from, and she was almost certain that whoever shouted had gone into that hole - and her curiosity was dying to know what was on the other side. "It's gorgeous," she whispered, taking her camera and snapping two pictures of the hole. Then she opened her purse and commanded her quick quotes quill to fly out. "Hey quick quotes quill," she said. "Write down this: I, Kitty DuGray Valentine, was patrolling on regular prefect patrols when I heard a scream nearby. Running to investigate, I found a huge hole on the wall, with eerie glowing light and tendrils coming out of it. I don't know what it is, but I think maybe the girl who shouted went in. I'm going in after her. I hope it's not dangerous, but I don't know. I'm afraid the hole will vanish if I leave to get help. I'm leaving one of the pictures I took with the note so you know what to look for if it vanishes. I hope I'll be back soon. I love you all." She posted the note and one of the pictures on the wall opposite the portal.
Then, with eyes wide open and staring ahead, Kitty DuGray Valentine walked gracefully through the portal.
